You said the Pendleton Act "no longer exists," and I showed you how that was blatantly false. And your argument went downhill from there. I'm done with this stupid shit. You lost the argument. Move on.

Now you're just flat-out lying. Here's my exact post. The "no longer exists" text refers to the fact that here is no longer a "civil service exam". In context, I was referring to the fact that the civil service exam no longer exists in spite the Pendleton Act states that it is required.

The Pendleton Act also was the starting point for the civil service exam. The fact that it no longer exists already undermines the Pendleton Act, or at the very least demonstrates that the federal employee selection processes can be updated to meet modern requirements.

Also the Pendleton Act applies to millions of Federal employees. Trump's EO applies to a very small fraction of that. And there's NOTHING in the Pendleton Act that would prevent or contradict bureaucracy leadership from sitting for a performance evaluation. So, you and your "experts" can go pound sand.
The blanket civil service exam was discontinued due to litigation regarding the test's validity and disparate impact to minority candidates. I suspect you know this but decided it would be easier to lie your way out of a discussion.

Learn to write unambiguously. It's not my fault you write like Trump talks (not intended as a compliment).

In any event, it is inarguable that the objective of both Trump's EO and Project 2025 is to convert at least 50,000 career positions into patronage positions reserved for compliant MAGAts and that this contravenes the very intent of the Pendleton Act. And since it's inarguable, I'm done arguing about it.

Besides, Trump has already shown he can't even find enough qualified, honest and ethical people to fill his cabinet. Any that were are now outspoken against him. How the hell is he going to find 50K qualified, honest and ethical MAGA folks? Pardoned J6'ers?

You've posted multiple times in this thread since I asked this simple question:

None of your posts have come close to even attempting to answer the question. So, no, it is not an assumption. It's an inference based on fact. Don't worry, you're not alone. No one else here seems to know either.
